Bad Breath Looms Like Fog Over Relationship

Dear Dee:
I am totally in love with the guy I am dating and we've been together 2 years. There really is only one thing I can't stand about him and unfortunately, it filters into several other areas of our relationship though.

Dee, he has the worst breath ever. It sometimes makes me gag and I swear I love him! But it is really, really hard to kiss him. Do you have any advice at all?

Ewwww. So sorry you have to deal with this. And the fact you've put up with it for 2 years is testament to your dedication to the relationship. So since breaking up is out of the question and I imagine you've thought of all the ordinary remedies (breath mints, making sure he has good hygiene habits) it's probably time for some real intervention.

You've been dating for two years now. So, you've probably talked about most everything and should see if there is an actual medical problem.

You might ask how you approach such a topic with someone. And believe me, it's not a conversation I'd want to have either, but if you tell him how much you love him and want to kiss and love of him, but this hinders the experience, maybe you can kind of 'soften' the blow so to speak.

I wish I could give you more advice, but I really think the doctor is the next step.

Unless, you just want to automatically pop a breath mint in his mouth the second before he kisses you ... Now that might be interesting. and kinda funny.

'Open up sweetie ... now ... pucker up ...'

Breaking up should never be an option for an easy dilemma like this! It's been two years already, so there must be an underlying problem besides the bad breath. Perhaps you could suggest to your guy to see a dentist right away. But Dee is right -- you should do something that will 'soften the blow'. This is one of the most sensitive topics to talk about.

Based from the story she really loved his man despite of his bad breath. Anyways Jenna is right-- breaking up should never be an option because imagine its almost 2 years. I'm sure you have the guts to tell him with your concern because you've together for quite sometime.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is caused by excessive build-up of odor-producing bacteria inside of your dog’s mouth, lungs or even gut. Keep in mind, even if the cause of your dog's bad breath is caused by something minor such as dental disease, gum disease, or tartar, on-going bad breath could be a hint that your pet may be experiencing greater medical problems.
